<p>Most developers will never need to use this class directly, since the <ahref="/v5/api/utils/abi/interface/">Interface</a> class greatly simplifies these operations.</p>

<p>This is likely only needed by those with specific needs to override how values are coerced after they are decoded from their binary format.</p>
